Here’s a fantastic little graduate film about inhabitants of a strange windy land, by Robert Löbel. The sounds come courtesy of the always brilliant David Kamp. This is a perfect piece of storytelling. Watch the animation “Wind” below!

One look at these mesmerizing animated loops by Pingo van der Brinkloev and it’s obvious that it’s getting harder to tell what’s what these days. The fact that none of this is actual paper doesn’t make it any less impressive. Watch below!

The Doodle Project is wonderful experiment by Dante Zaballa, described as a big collaborative group hug. Zaballa made a modest animation of a character dancing and then invited 62 illustrators to re-draw individual frames from his animation in their own style. Even more brilliant he got 14 musicians to each create their own score for the dance, so as the animation loops you hear a completely different soundtrack each time.

Here’s another glorious animation from Masanobu Hiraoka. I gotta say there is something I miss about Hiraoka’s older work though (see here) . It was a lot less polished, and that kinda made it more unpredictable. Buut I still love this.
